+ (If this bug still exists, it is masked by bug 851222.)
  
- Software Centre is now the GUI installation method for local .debs.
- Software Centre currently offers a download size, even though the .deb
- is local and does not require further downloading.
  
-   1. gnome-open skype_*.deb
-   2. Ubuntu Software Centre opens
-   3. Displays non-zero download size (20% bigger than the local .deb)

  Constrasting with bug #635015 shows that there's probably more issues
  that can be found from install the Skype package.
